new OVA series Shakugan no Shana S vol. 1
will release on 23 oct
in BD/DVD format

story content: short story in Itou Noidi illustration collection Gu-ren: reshuffle

By the usual convention, how many episodes does an OVA series contain?

Pardon my ignorance, I cannot see why the side story of "reshuffle" is being used to "go into the background of characters and their deep relationships". This short story is not even a part of Novels. Won't it be better to use the material from Volume 0, Volume 10 or even Volume S / S2?

I am hoping that some parts of Novel Volume 0, 10, 15 and S2 will be animated in the OVA series. However, I guess that it may be a bit too far-fetched since they subsequently have to focus their attention on Season 3.

@topic
Do you think they'll consult Ito Noizi for non-anime, non-manga, non-novel but canon backgrounds? I just have a hunch that making an OVA out of a background check for the characters will be had until they had enough material for that.

Why would they contact Noizi Itou for the story when she's just responsible for the character designs? Yashichiro Takahashi is the one they should be asking.

Uh... it's titled "Reshuffle," it mentions Friagne, and something about searching for a Hougu. And it mentions Shana and Yuuji. I think what it says is that they're going to look for a Hougu that Friagne left behind. Something about a giant toy, as well. Er... "the telescope that Yuuji obtained by happenstance was actually a Hougu!?" Aaand... "Can Shana and Yuuji make it back safely!?"

It's basically describing that Yuji and Shana visit an abandoned department store searching for a treasure Friagne left behind inside a giant toy's body, however, Yuji accidentally switches both his and Shana's body around thanks to the telescope in his hand (they discover that that is also a treasure). The last sentence basically says can the two switch their bodies back safely.
